In a style as distinctive as it is penetrating, Errol Morris has spent 25 years making influential, provocative nonfiction films that have irrevocably altered audiences' perceptions of the world around them.

That night, a police officer was shot in cold blood. And though all the facts pointed to Harris, a sociopath with a lengthy rap sheet, Adams was convicted of capital murder. Was Adams guilty? And if not, can Morris unlock the secrets of this baffling case?
